Tonight’s Wetzel County Classic was a true celebration of community and outstanding sportsmanship. This marked the first track meet held since the resurfacing of the track, making the night even more special.
At one point, I overheard a Valley student-athlete say, “I’m so happy!”—and that really captured the spirit of the evening.
We had students proudly representing every school, and we appreciate Clay-Battelle for attending and being part of this great event.
Thank you to all the parents, family members, and volunteers who came out to support our athletes. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!

This year, our goal is 300 gifts, which will help us design and install a natural playground along the trail. One exciting feature we hope to add is a Pebble Harp

Mrs. Starkey’s 2nd grade class showed some amazing productive struggle this morning while helping Goldie McMuffins track down his missing gold!
Students worked hard to solve clues, think critically, and collaborate with their groups to unlock each box. The determination and teamwork were incredible—and in the end, every group successfully broke out!
So proud of their perseverance and problem-solving skills!
